Elle L'aime A La Folie

I tried lolita lempicka elle l'aime at the store.loved it and bought a bottle of it the other day.when I opened it's box at home and sprayed it I saw that I don't like it!I was puzzled Recently I went to that perfume shop again and recognized that there's two different version of it.tried this one and I understood that the one I loved at first place and still love is a la foile version but unfortunately the one I have is original elle l'aime.what makes me dislike the latter one is combination of lime and coconut.I don't like sour citruses in beachy scents and it's coconut is too much and there's nothing warm or sweet to make it yummy and likable for me. There's no lime sourness or coconut overload in a la foile.it's sunny,buttery ylang-ylang and jasmine blended with just a hint of creamy coconut and sandalwood.I believe what makes me love this is amber and myrrh,they give it warm,delicious and a charming twist It also has impressive Longevity and sillage for a summary fragrance.I wanted to buy it after I finish my l'aime but I don't think that I can wait till then Pay attention to their colors while buying.a la foile is brighter P.s: I'd also love try layering it with Valentino myrrh

Not your typical Lolita Lempicka at all. This is a rich and ambery, honeyed floral with sandalwood and a bit of citrus. It has no coconut and no vanilla, but the ylang-ylang and amber are so rich that any vanilla or coconut would have been too much here. Quite intoxicating. I ordered this to find an alternative to Alien Essence Absolue with ylang-ylang, and it lives up to my expectations. The sillage too. I'm a very light sprayer and when testing, I still oversprayed by accident. I agree with the comment below mine, this is better suited to cold and cooler days. For day and night, but maybe a little bit too loud for the office. The sillage is much softer on skin after 4 hours though. On clothes, the scent is even more beautiful and ambery sweet. The bottle is as gorgeous as the scent. When light shines through it, the bright golden juice makes the letters glow like fire. Happy, truly gorgeous and sexy. It's a hidden gem for ylang-ylang lovers. Too sad it's discontinued, but it's still pretty cheap online and smells much more expensive than its current price.

A totally impulsive bb for me and.. Whoa! Big and heady indeed! My first thought was coconut. I knew there weren't supposed to be any in this version. Maybe my mind plays tricks on me because of the beachy sunscreen vibe. I get less of that now though, with a proper wearing. I have zero experience with ylang in perfume. I love the essential oil of the flower, but there is little that reminds me of that in A La Folie. This is so different to what I normally wear that I think I need some time with it. But I am intrigued,.. very. And I have a feeling it will get a lot of use. I love scents that doesn't initially feel like "me". UPDATE: LOVE it! ♥️ I dont know why, but sometimes this project like crazy and sometimes it doesn't. It seems it change a lot with the temperature and the season, also considering the strength of certain notes. But overall this a creamy beautiful scent that performs very well!

This sweet, floral woodsy delight to me smells like the absence of honey. While I love that elusive honey, it is quite hard to bottle and plays wickedly with skin chemistry. This has the citrus zest but not the orange blossom, the flower but not the nectar, the woods and the sap holding the nest but not the honey, and the warm sunny feeling without the bees buzzing about. It's so versatile and enveloping. It doesn't have a lot of development, but that's fine. I like it from the first spray to the last waft. And it lasts awhile!This is even better than Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria Ylang et Vanille (which I still have) in that it manages to smell like your favorite cousin who makes good life choices instead of your slightly musty auntie with great taste but diminishing olfaction. As if all this weren't enough, the price makes this a no-brainer. Thanks for the helpful reviews, Fragrantica members!

I blind bought a high partial with a sprayer that needed to be “realigned” so it sprayed properly. It’s capless but after sorting the sprayer and flushing the mechanism all I can say is “wow”! A total knockout. I don’t really like gourmands and I don’t really like coconut. But this is edible without smelling like food. I get a creaminess which isn’t coconut but must be the sandalwood. The Ylang is prominent but it’s fleshed out with citrus so it has a sweet but tart bite to it which means it didn’t get cloying and the jasmine keeps it clean. It’s fairly fruity in a way a mango is - lush, fleshy and dripping with juice to the bite. The resins give it depth and persistence. It’s a winner and has incredible performance. I’ve slowly fallen in love and she’s staying in my collection as I’m currently deep into edit mode.
